. i am andriy yanitskyi, espresso tv channel, monday , july 11. if you watch us on the internet, please like, comment yes more people will see us president of ukraine volodymyr zelensky canceled the military tax of 1.5% for military personnel and other persons who directly participate in hostilities in the conditions martial law, this is a levy, representatives of the armed forces of ukraine, the national guard, law enforcement agencies, the sbu, the foreign intelligence service, border guards, state special communications and the state security department, ukraine's international reserves decreased by 9% in june, according to the national bank of ukraine, as of july 1, they amounted to $22.7 billion reserves decreased due to the

sale of foreign currency. on the interbank foreign exchange market, however, the intensification of the receipt of international aid, on the contrary, made it possible to partially compensate for this. at the same time, it is difficult for an economist to monitor the state reserves, because during the war the national bank temporarily refrains from publishing information on the coverage of future imports by reserves. the government of kremenchuk promises that the city will face the next heating season with caution, despite the fact that the kremenchuk chp, which provided heat to almost a thousand high-rise buildings as a result of rocket attacks, was destroyed, while at the same time, people are happy to switch to individual heating , more about it in the story of our correspondent iryna skripachova, former teacher of a higher educational institution, now retired oleksandr lives in a house owned by an apartment owner who was allowed to disconnect from the central heating system, people have the right to switch to

individual heating at their own expense, on average, for one family, such modernization will cost 40 thousand hryvnias, and even more if, in addition to the gas boiler , the batteries will have to be replaced, however, in the case of oleksandr it turned out to be easier to do this. we have gas meters. we have chimneys , they are checked constantly. for 70 years, we have been writing letters, at least check the steel wiring and everything else, they write in the budget that there is no money. we understood and talked with oblenergo to build an additional station. individual heating, according to the head of kremenchuk gas, bohdan oksenenko,

this will lead to a threefold increase in fuel consumption, and city gas distribution networks are not designed for such a load. it is not possible in terms of time and costs for kremenchug gas, the best solution is to start the chp, reconstruction , start it and make it work as it worked before, this is the best best solution today, gas experts advise autonomous heating, for example, mini-boilers for condominiums, on the contrary, experts in the field of modern technologies suggest that people install heat pumps in apartments, this option, according to konstantin, is the fastest and cheapest, a typical pump can take energy from the air or a heat pump can take energy from the ground, that is, from the water, ah, ah, from deep waters, which are always warm in winter and they do not freeze, and that is why such a pump consumes four times less electricity than the heat before the optical boiler and is

more profitable from the side of the boots from the side payback with just such heat pumps, the city and district authorities plan to heat schools, gardens and residential quarters, according to the head of the kremenchug ditch, oleg lenik, to the commission that is considering the issue of disconnecting consumers from centralized heating, residents of five apartment buildings have currently appealed of houses, representatives of gorgaz and representatives of oblenergo are currently carrying out appropriate measures and works so that it is possible to definitively say whether it is possible to do this for this or that house. is it impossible, why exactly because first of all it is necessary to provide such houses with the necessary amount of gas and supply it to this the territory is also the same with electric energy, most places are convinced that they will not remain without heat in winter iryna skripachova oleksandr popenko from kremenchuk for the espresso tv channel it is already

traditional on mondays we discuss the main economic news with investment banker serhii fursa, who represents the company dragon capital. i congratulate serhii. congratulations. last week, the national bank of ukraine together with the government adopted a number of resolutions that allow the purchase of critical imported goods , that is, currency restrictions on the purchase of services abroad still remain. and now it will be possible to buy goods and not have a ban on it, we are already returning to some kind of economic normality in our country everything is fine with the currency in the country that the national bank made such a decision no see this decision no i can consider it separately from the second decision , the government and parliament returned import taxation and the national bank removed this critical import and made all imports equal to each other. therefore, it is simply a

complex of measures from one side, do you return taxes or should it affect reducing imports and what should support the own producer so that it becomes more specific with, and then you say, well, you won't have a specific critical impo for you all year, imports will be equal between themselves. that is, there are also taxes now and permission to buy imports - this theoretically has to fill our budget, help to fill the budget , this is not a question of filling the budget, but also when the government made a decision on taxes, it is filling the budget and stimulating its own production, and the national bank already simply understands that o there are taxes - it compensates for certain effects of the decision to change the critical of imports and equating all imports to each other, at the same time we see what is happening with the dollar exchange rate relative to other currencies and see that the dollar is stronger on july 5,

for example, the average exchange rate was 35 and 2:35 er 35 hryvnia per dollar on july 6 is already 35.4 35:55 ​​and already on the eighth - 35.8 and 36.07 per dollar, respectively, this is a purchase, a purchase, a sale, what is happening, why is the dollar stronger, why is there such a constant demand for it , i think that this is a question of demand, rather , it is a purely technical solution, because did privatbank, the largest bank of ukraine, cancel the exchange rate benefits that it had abroad on cards, and we know that card tourism was very widespread in ukraine, most likely, most of these people traveled with with privatbank cards and the rate of montenegro reacted immediately, most likely to the black, so people somehow get into it, there must be certain urban

certain schemes, and most likely these schemes used this card rate of privatbank , now that it became morning, it actually became more expensive -e ensure that the currency enters the black market and as a result the currency on the black market is more expensive a-a how do you understand this decision instead of treating it because i heard different assessments from those who are currently in border and used to pay at a cheaper, almost pre-war exchange rate, of course it is negative, because for them it is more expensive at the exchange rate. and here is the assessment for those who live within the borders of ukraine and receive foreign currency income , for example, on their accounts, they felt that they do not need to lose on the exchange rate difference there 15 % of your profits, well, look again. if i went to a restaurant and every time they gave me a 30% discount, then of course i would be happy and when they in this restaurant saw that they were

losing a lot of money on me and took away my discount b i didn't like it, but it's normal, and that's because the exchange rate is a market buffer. it's not normal, and the return, including privatbank, to the people of normality and unpleasant normality for ukrainian refugees, for example, who are now abroad and it was a little cheaper for them if someone receives, for example, a pension in ukraine and lives now in poland or spain, where spending this money they could spend more in local currency, of course they don't like it, but the fact that they liked it so much before that was abnormal, well, it's already the fifth the war has been going on for a month and it would be strange to keep an exchange rate that actually differs by 15-20% from the market rate. and in general, the existence of two currency rates - it looks a little strange the exchange rate is actually the disadvantages of the fixed exchange

rate. the national bank actually understood when the national bank made this decision. yes, there will be two exchange rates: officially fixed and market cash, but you know this when you choose between a bad decision and very bad, then you see the disadvantages of a bad decision, but if you did not fix exchange rates , you would have had one exchange rate. but what it would be now, we cannot even imagine . freely convertible and not controlled in any way by the national bank no, well, look, the exchange rates are officially fixed. therefore, everything is fixed so far, the rate is not free, and i think that in the near future the national bank will continue privat during the war, it is impossible to let go and not control the national bank did not see such a possibility, but it is not excluded that over time, for example, if the pressure on reserves continues, the national

bank will simply have no choice and will let go, it will be such a rather negative scenario, in principle, inflation depends on the exchange rate. in fact, new data on inflation in june accelerated the pace of price growth to 21.5%, and in annual terms and compared to 18 percent months earlier, that is, prices are not only increasing, they are accelerating the increase. it depends on the exchange rate or what depends well in in principle, inflation depends on the exchange rate. now we have not had such movements of the exchange rate that justified such dynamics. what is still unusual is also because we are talking about the summer, in fact, when deflationary processes are usually possible, but this is the result of the war and the inflation that exists in the world even next to with us yes , in the countries of eastern europe, inflation is 15-20% for a very long time and during the war it is simply impossible for us to maintain a lower level at the end of the year, we reach

25%, or higher or lower expectations. do you have possible estimates? well, our estimate 25% we are not reviewed the estimate after the latest figures, but let's see if the pace is maintained, then we will have to change. the ministry of economy of ukraine believes that ukraine can increase the share of exports in the structure of its economy from 35%, as it is now, to 50%. well, on the one hand, it is foreign exchange earnings, and on the other hand , it is dependence on foreign markets. is it safe to be so much, well, in fact, to depend half on what happens on foreign markets, well, look, i think that it is safe, because the external, internal, everything is equal to the state of the internal will depend, and this is not what we say, we stop domestic domestic production, which is oriented towards the domestic market, and start doing only exports, what are we talking about? i think

that the idea is that ukraine should increase its investment rights and in order to you investors came and invested, and these and these investments were aimed at products that will be directed to export. yes, this is the idea. of course, that's another story, but no one is against the potential of the domestic ukrainian market . it is quite limited, and in order to attract investors to the domestic ukrainian market, it will be yours, so we are doomed if we want more large-scale investments to come to us, if you can say talk to investors about the domestic market and what about the fact that you will assemble in ukraine and we will use the european union and sell all of your products throughout europe on the largest and most solvent market in the world i think such and such a logic is present and it is quite appropriate, it has remained as it is, it is a small

detail to increase investment attractiveness. well, i will also add that this idea was voiced in the column of the minister of economy yulia sviridenko on ukrainian pravda, i advise everyone to read it , some are already arguing with it experts on facebook, but what exactly does she say? she says that exporting anything is not the goal, that is, it's just something to increase exports. and now 70 out of 5% of our exports are raw materials, we need to change that, that is, these investments about which are exactly what you say must go primarily in the processing industry so that we export not only raw materials. is this a reasonable approach or is it basically the same to export ? this is known for a long time, yes. and this is not a new idea, let's

say there is nothing new here, that is, the basic logic . the question is that investors did not come from the processing industry because investors were afraid of the ukrainian judicial system and are still afraid of the ukrainian judicial system . corrupt ukrainian security forces, and especially very often, because ukrainian security forces and ukrainian corrupt officials are one and the same person, so until this situation changes, there will be no growth in the box, that is, the problem is not that we are somehow economically incapable, that we do not have some components that our labor resources may not be so unprofessional, but that we do not have a business climate for such investments. no , what you listed is also a problem. but the first problem is investments, yes. if there are investments there won't be another, but then we'll talk, but since there are no investments, it doesn't matter what happens with the other parameters. and what should be the first such step to show that our business climate is improving and, well, the conditions for the work of investors,

you have just the right investment company. you know this from first hand, as they say, well, look now, the first thing of course is to end the war, and the easiest thing to do is to immediately give a signal that we are moving in the right direction. this is finally the appointed prosecutor himself, because this is just a demonstration of ukraine's propensity to fight corruption, or not to the fight, and for now even the sap prosecutor, who was already elected a long time ago, where we all promised around the world that we will soon appoint and we cannot appoint for six months, it is difficult to convince investors that our investment climate is changing here. well, the last topic for our conversation, it may look like treason but you tell me will you betray or not treason canada announced that it will return to germany a repaired russian turbine necessary for the nord stream gas pipeline alone despite the fact that ukraine is against this decision and says that this is generally a departure from the policy of sanctions e.e. it is not about the company siemens canada

e.e. they say that without this turbine the nord stream can also work because there are several of these turbines, but here russia pretends that if the turbine is not returned then there will be no gas pumping and it is actually blackmailing europe in the way you think about it. this is treason, a traitor, yes, germany is written on canada . and he pressed, and the germans again and the europeans make the same mistake. they think that a compromise with putin will help him, they do not study well, like us we see. they are used to civilized relations and are not used to negotiating with bandits who perceive a compromise of weakness and then increase the pressure. we should have learned this lesson by now, because actually when they agreed somewhere in the middle on a new gas payment system immediately after that, gazprom, seeing more europe bowed a little and saved

putin's face. gazprom turned off the gas just in time and now europe will receive 30%." thank you, mr. serhiy, for the professional comment, as usual. on mondays, serhiy fursa, investment banker, representative was with us dragon capital company and finally, i have positive news from the european union. in estonia, a €2 coin dedicated to ukraine was issued. the design was developed by a refugee from kharkiv, daria titova. she studies at the estonian academy of arts. the coin depicts a girl as a symbol of tenderness, protecting a bird on her palm. grains and the inscription glory to ukraine, the sale has already started, you can buy a coin for 18 € with a face value of 2 €, the bank of estonia will transfer the winnings to the national bank of ukraine on this today, see all the news of the economy

uah have already been collected, 45 million more are needed, the community affairs will collect 45 million , join us in this wonderful espresso marathon of ours, and after the economic news with andrii yanitsky, it is especially nice to continue talking with anton herashchenko, adviser to the head of the ministry of internal affairs of ukraine, who will join us soon, and we know that he is a very popular adviser in ukraine. he is very active, he posts various youtube blogs. active in english, there is twitter in telegram and the garage. yes, i am in shock. because i don’t know how anton is met, it will be turned on because he

just posted some uh, some cool news all night. a bomb, a rocket, he’s already there, i already know everything, we have some pictures, a positive figure, he ’s already commenting on everything. well, listen, this is a man who is really simple. zhivchyk , come here, he’s just an octopus. residential building on the night of july 11 kharkiv, we will remind you, was hit by rockets from russia three times and one of the rockets hit a six-story residential building in the osnovyansk district, fortunately there were no dead or injured, but we can just see what the enemy is doing to our civilian infrastructure. this is scary and huge fortunately, there were no people there at the time of the impact, who probably did not

survive as a result of such a terrible rocket attack, but some did suffer from the rubble, in particular, they saved an 86-year-old woman who lived in in this building on the second floor it's simply non- stop tragedies and personal tragedies of destruction and loss of life and already literally in the fifth month of the war, the war continues for another 5 months, in fact, here they have become such a daily routine that the eyes of death are hard to get used to, but you can see that people are getting used to it we will talk in more detail a little later about how the development of the situation might look in general, because we are trying to ask our guests from the regions of which we include representatives of local authorities and fighters at the front and we constantly hear different forecasts both from the main intelligence agency and from the ministry of defense as to how events may develop. well, what do

world experts say, what diplomats say is very interesting . because there is actually information that putin is looking for ways to intensify negotiations and pressure under the carpet on european leaders so that they, in turn, try to push ukraine to negotiations, which can be an extremely sensitive issue in the fall, when europe will feel it itself, every european a citizen will feel the consequences of the blocking of russian energy carriers in his wallet very well . william galstun wrote there yesterday. george island is a former adviser. by the way, the squirrel kinder , he says that, all those things, he says thinking. and what will happen? and who will win or the war will end? it’s just nothing to leave it there, uh, these emotional swings there by the readers and so on, he says that biden, give weapons to the

ukrainians, they will now counterattack with our weapons. with projectiles, he says, do what you can do , there is another american, also an expert from the military, who says just press the gas pedal to the floor, then he says about the pace of providing er, this alain lisa says, and those are all thoughts, will the ukrainians win after this? no, it doesn't make sense. no, it's clear, that is, the ukrainians actually need the right weapons, but not only general kryvonos. our colleague, olena tribushna, who is a journalist and the host of youtube channel 24, has a question. and kryvonis is actually the ex-deputy secretary of the national security and defense council, the first deputy commander of the soviet forces from 16-19 years, said that this

will not happen quickly either, but the turning point will come when we actually stop the russian troops, for this we directly need weapons and equipment, as well as training and effective the management of these two directions by directions and the acquisition of weapons and their implementation is effective at the front, as well as the training of our military, and this is such a complex process. the approach of the reserves is to inflict fire damage on these reserves and after that launch a counteroffensive, which obviously does not start at the same place. and this applies to yesterday's calls for the deoccupation of the south , yes, the order that was spoken about by the times where will you go? and that's why you will too . by the way, we are making it difficult to inflict damage and

have reserves that can come. well, even before inflicting damage, we have it during the entire previous week. good news when we hit the in the enemy's warehouses, that's actually what they're already doing. why are four of them already nine, the pentagon reporting nine together? i understand that with these enamelers, there are 70 , one eleus and eight caviars. at least from what the pentagon says in its official briefings, the situation looks yes, and in the near future, they will give four more, they say that it will happen 12 well, that's how it is. well, that's how we feel about the situation, but in fact, of course, when we ask and pray live, all the soldiers answer. this is a military secret, but we see how they work, and that's the main thing. we in touch, in touch, in the next video, at first boys were called byraktars or girls , too, and girls were called jivelins, and now they will be

called hymers, and in a couple of months the first f-35 lighting will appear. well, what do i think? well, that's fine and that f-35 is a normal name for a child, why do you call her f-35, what else do we have in contact, artem kotyuzhansky, and also on sams, you can call him that, you can call him something else, mastiff no, it's not for children, it 's all the same we will remind you that british armored vehicles have this name, we will work at 8:45 more sergey, the germans finally give yes thank you, dear, we hear you very well, but still, i would like to finish the dialogue that we started and we just did it, we hear you very well, artem katyuzhanskyi, the brother of the prisoner of war defender vladyslav zadorin from of the snake island and in touch with us and this is an important conversation

artem kitsyuzhanskyi thank you mr. artem, first of all, for joining our broadcast and let's say that for five months without any news, the relatives of the defenders are asking the authorities to save the prisoners and 75 defenders of the changeling are still in captivity , we are talking about all this with our guest, we remember what is known about the fate of our defenders, in particular, about your brother, is it known for sure that he is alive, when was the last time you contacted us? good morning, studio. yes, it is very, very good that all defenders who were on the island, they are alive and although the president on the 24th, well , on the day of the full-scale offensive, announced that he handed it posthumously to the heroes, but i think this was very big, well, if it was disinformation, two days later we saw a video video
